About

Aged only 17, Schubert conducted his first complete Mass setting, in F major, D.105, in September 1814, gaining the approval of his former teacher Antonio Salieri.

An amazingly accomplished work for so young a composer, it follows Classical precedents, while already giving glimpses of Schubert’s special lyrical gifts. It also makes effective use, particularly in the forward-looking Sanctus, of the vocal soloists, choir and an orchestra rich in wind and brass, including three trombones.

The Mass in B flat major, D.324, composed the following year and, like its predecessor, scaled for liturgical performance, similarly combines beauty with splendour.
